About this photograph

The Library of Congress catalogue identifies this albumen print as Sergeant Nicholas G. Wilson of Company G, 138th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, shown in uniform. The photograph was created by William H. Tipton and is mounted in the cabinet card format, measuring 17 by 11 centimeters.

The date of 1870 presents a puzzle, as it falls five years after the Civil War's conclusion. Whether this represents when the photograph was taken, when it was catalogued, or another milestone in its history is not stated in the record.

No further information about Wilson, his service, or the circumstances of this portrait has been preserved in the archive's documentation.
